Cheerful Nature Shots
It’s cold and rainy here in the Great Northwest so I thought I’d cheer us up with some nature shots. How about a doggie enjoying sunset at Cannon Beach. Not mine, but wouldn’t it be nice? Here’s a chubby Robin looking quite dapper! This… Continue Reading “Cheerful Nature Shots”
April is for Tulips – At Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm
No, you’re not mistaken, I already shared from this year’s Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival. But did you think all those tulips could be contained in a single post? Of course not!

Daisies in the Grass
On today’s walk I noticed the grass arrayed with flowers – charming, tiny, flowers, common daisies. They grow unbidden, anywhere they choose, so small you may not even notice them at your feet. Today I did. Sharing for Terri’s #The-Flower-Hour-17 ~ Susanne
Happy National Feed the Birds Day!
If you plant flowers, herbs and shrubs, and add a water source, they will come! I became a backyard birder accidently some years ago at my home in Seattle, when I planted a garden. The birds were attracted, so I hung feeders. I don’t… Continue Reading “Happy National Feed the Birds Day!”
